The level of fear,: shame, and anger suggest that you would do well to consult w/a mental health professional. What you mention may be the result of trauma. The work on Emotional Intelligence by Daniel Goleman may be of help. Peace and good health.

Shame: Shame is just about the darkest emotion people can face. It presupposes that there's an audience to our alleged wrongdoings, and that devastating judgement will be passed. Something to remember is that everyone has something they feel ashamed about; it's inescapable. Find a reputable psychotherapist to speak with. Getting it off one's chest in a safe, nonjudgmental place is the first step.
